My husband and I have decided on the name Andi for a little girl. We are having problems finding
a middle name. I don't really care for the most commonly used names. Thank you for your help.
Jessica

CO
Baby Name Genie:
I compliment your choice of the name Andi--a superb name for a baby girl.
You will find that the middle name Marlene completes your selection.
My husband and I have decided on the name Isaac for our second son but we
are having a hard time agreeing on a middle name. We would like something
not quite as biblical as Isaac. Any suggestions?
Raini
LA
LA
Baby Name Genie:
Neither of you should have to sacrifice to agree on Trevor as the baby's middle name.
I love the names Elizabeth and Isabel. What's your opinion on combining them? Elizabelle?
Also, I was considering the middle name Rae. Thanks.
Rachel
WV
WV
Baby Name Genie:
Rae is a fine middle name. Elizabelle needs to go though. Stick simply to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Rae makes a splendid name for your baby girl.
Me and my husband both like the name Gabrielle,
but we have no idea on middle names that would
match? Any ideas?
Monica
MA
MA
Baby Name Genie:
Celeste or Simone compliment the name Gabrielle nicely.
Hi. I am expecting my son in August and I have a first and last name but no middle name...
Dante ??? Owens. I want something that sounds good looks good and isn't really a first name.
Any ideas? Me and my fiance are going crazy trying to figure out a middle name.
Victoria
MA
MA
Baby Name Genie:
Go with a location name or a last name as the middle name. Here are three middle names to stop
your baby name insanity: Cline, Carlton, Montanna.
I want to name my baby Emma, but my husband wants to name her Emily.
Do you have any good names that start with Em?
Sarah
TN
TN
Baby Name Genie:
Aside from popularity, I see nothing wrong with the two baby names you have in hand.
Since neither of you will back down though, I suggest a truce. Agree to name your baby
Amelia; then, go out for hot fudge sundaes to celebrate resolution to your stalemate.
Could you order one for me and bring it by the lamp while you are at it?
The boy name you suggested, Julian Gunner, totally blew me away!
My grandfather's name was Julian and my husband's grandfather was Gunnar!
It's like it was fate! I never thought of using either of these
names for our baby nor did I think of using them in combination.
Thanks Genie!
Ginny

Canada
Baby Name Genie:
Your recognition of my superior baby naming skills is appreciated.
I am pregnant and would like help. I would like to use the middle
name Dale if it is a boy and Violet if it is a girl... but these
names are hard to match with a first name. Help.
Mandy
Iowa
Iowa
Baby Name Genie:
If the baby is a boy, name him Nicholas. If the baby is a girl, name her
Allison.
Thank you so much, the first name you suggested is the perfect name, and
our baby boy matches the name too, his name is Chris Marshall West. Thanks
again and I hope you continue to do a good job as a Genie (I hope you get
new furniture for your lamp too. It must be tight in there!)
Lacey
Kansas
Kansas
Baby Name Genie:
Congratulations! Glad to be of assistance. Finding new furniture hasn't
been as big of a problem as finding a store that delivers to genie lamps.

I have to name my baby boy due in March. I hate every boy's name in the
whole world. Help me!
Melanie

Newcastle
Baby Name Genie:
All boy baby names in whole world, eh? Go with the name Orion. It's officially heavenly.
I like the name Kaitlyn Grace but I want to hear from
someone else if its a nice name?
Samantha

Baby Name Genie:
Trust your instinct.
We are having twins (boy and girl) and my wife likes the names
Olivia and Owen, but I don't like the double "O" names because
it's too close to the rhyming names. What do you think?
Paul
Atlanta
Atlanta
Baby Name Genie:
You are stressing out too much. It is not uncommon to give
twins baby names with a connection. The names sound good
together.
I love the names Nora and Noah do you think it would be confusing or
silly for a brother and sister to have these names???
Jess
AU
AU
Baby Name Genie:
One question: Did you like it when your mom mixed up your name with your
siblings (or pet)? I am sorry, but its time to start thinking of a different
baby name combination even though they are both great names. If you MUST
use them though, consider making one a middle name (Patrick Noah).
My husband likes the name Leonardo for our son-to-be.
He even keeps calling the baby "Leo". But I can't stand the name.
I keep thinking of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and my sisters all think
of Leonardo DiCaprio. Any suggestions for a suitable alternative?
Mina
TX
TX
Baby Name Genie:
Leander will get your mind off of pizza eating turtles;
plus, it eliminates the nickname Leo. He could go by Lee if
your husband likes the "lee" sound.
My husband wants to name our son David. I don't really like this name, but
I won't mind having David as a middle name. Any ideas on a good first name
to match with David Rodriguez?
Mary

Baby Name Genie:
Nathaniel David will make an excellent name as both a baby and an adult.
My husband wants to name our son David. I don't really like this name, but
I won't mind having David as a middle name. Any ideas on a good first name

Mary

Baby Name Genie:
Nathaniel David will make an excellent name for a baby and adult.
My husband and I really like the ring of Cole Miller as a boy's name
but can't come up with a good middle name. I don't really want anything
off the wall, but something with a nice flow. Any ideas?
Mary Ann
PA
PA
Baby Name Genie:
Cole Miller is an excellent choice for a name.
You will find the middle name Zachary compliments
it nicely.
I have what I think is the perfect first name for my baby girl,
but I am stumped at the thought of a middle name. I wanted to
use Faith, but the name is very similar to my sister-in-law's baby
born just two days ago. My baby's name will be Kyndra ___ Robbins
and her baby's name is Keira Faith--a little too close for me.
I want a name that means something "good." Maybe a Christian name...?
Can you help? Thanks.
Erica
KY
KY
Baby Name Genie:
Either Kyndra Felicity Robbins or Kyndra Verity Robbins are wonderful alternatives.
Whether this constitutes "help" or not depends on if you accept my advice.
Hey Genie, my husband and I really want to name our son Wes, but we're
worried it's too close to 'wuss'? Is it? Any alternate name suggestions?
Cami
OH
OH
Baby Name Genie:
Wes is not too close to "wuss" at all. There are plenty of
people in this world with the name Wes. It is a perfect
name! Especially for your baby. If you must have a different
name though, you will find Spencer to be an excellent
alternative for your baby boy.
We've decided to name our son Grady but haven't been able to come up
with a middle name that sounds right. Any suggestions?
Kellie
VA
VA
Baby Name Genie:
I'll give you three middle names for your baby boy:
Nathaniel, Kelton, and Jerome. All of them have a nice
ring when paired with Grady. Congratulations on the coming baby!
If I name my baby girl Kirsten, I am concerned people will mispronounce it
continually. I like "Keersten" not "Kersten" as the pronunciation. What
do you think?
Becky
MI
MI
Baby Name Genie:
I prefer the pronunciation "Keersten." Friends and family will take their
cue on how to pronounce her name from you. As for strangers, its not that big
of a deal if they say her name slightly incorrectly. The upside to the name is that
it could help her identify telemarketers more quickly (if they are still
around in the year 2030).
I think you should respond to more letters. I'm sure you get
tons of questions, but pregnant ladies are often moody and
unreasonable and can be down right frantic in their search of
the perfect name. We need all the help we can get...and you're
so great at your job...help out more! Now, what is a good middle
name for a baby girl named Riley? My husband likes Bay (or Bae)
but I'm pretty sure that's an animal noise. Thank you.
(Please don't make me "eat a big piece of chocolate cake")
Jami
KS
KS
Baby Name Genie:
Do you even like chocolate cake? As long as your last name
is not Townsend, Amanda will make a superb middle name for
your baby girl. If your husband is stuck on the "ay" sound
though, please use Rae instead of Bay, you'll be glad you
did (By the way, on the animal sound thing on "Bay" is pretty
obscure--unless you are confusing it with "bray").
My husband and I are having a baby boy in Sept. and we are
using the name Ethan for his first name and I wanted to use
Lyle for his middle name after my grandpa. Our last name
starts with a "K" so his initials will be ELK. Is this
too weird?
Lori
MN
MN
Baby Name Genie:
Too weird would be PIG, GUT, or GAS. With your baby being a boy,
when he gets old enough to care, he is more likely to think ELK
is a cool set of initials.
I'm adopting a baby that I've been fostering. She is two months
old and has the same name as my dog, "Chloe" (a name I love).
Every time I say her name the dog comes running. I'm afraid
at some point the baby might get hurt. The dog won't understand
a name change and I'm not getting rid of her, so I'll be changing
the baby's name. Her middle name will be "de Hart". Any suggestions?
Michelle
Florida
Florida
Baby Name Genie:
I have little sympathy for you since you broke the #1 rule
in pet naming: "Never name your pet a name you want to name
a future child." Nonetheless, I think you will find the name
Nicole to be a suitable alternative.
I have searched my baby name book of 750,000 names and cannot seem to
find a middle name for Chanel. I just want a nice middle name
that sounds like it's meant to go with Chanel. Thanks.
Renee
Sydney, Australia
Sydney, Australia
Baby Name Genie:
You must have skipped over the name Monroe --
Chanel Monroe. Sleep on it.
We are about to have a baby boy and decided on the name Sean but
we have no idea about the middle name. We were thinking about Michael
but would want something more original. Any ideas?
Ashley
IL
IL
Baby Name Genie:
I assume when you say "original" you are not referring to
supposedly "creative" spelling variations, gender
neutralizations, or name mashups. Wesley goes nicely as
a middle name... and its not overused--yet.
Is the name Haven Skylar Barclay a beautiful name?
Rhianna
USA
USA
Baby Name Genie:
Somehow, it seems, there is always someone somewhere who
thinks something is beautiful. In this instance,
I am not that someone.
My husband and I chose the name Gabriel for our little boy,
but that is the end of agreement. He wishes for our sons full
name to be: Gabriel Knight Booth. He feels it is a strong name.
I hear the name Knight and I remember Jordan Knight from New Kids
on the Block.... needless to say, I can't handle that.
Can you please help me find a middle name that my husband and
I agree on?
Jessica
California
California
Baby Name Genie:
Here is a name your husband will agree has the right stuff:
Gabriel Klayton Booth.
My baby boy is supposed to be born in seven days and the
name is still undecided! I am so stressed! We like the name
Matthew, but I also like the name Trey. I wanted the middle
name to be James though. Could I use the name Matthew Trey
James Lewis. Or is that too much? I don't want him to have a
hard time in life because of the two middle names.
Kendra
Missouri
Missouri
Baby Name Genie:
Could you? Yes. Should you? No. But only because Trey James
does not flow well. People don't have a hard time in life
because of two middle names, its much more complicated than
that. But even if it did make life hard, you can rest
in the thought that adversity breeds character (Don't even
think that gives you permission to name him Matthew Sue!).
Can you please help me find a middle name
for my first child/son Ian? My baby is due in May.
I relied on my husband to find a perfect middle name. No luck so far.
We both have a very active, creative, and unique lifestyle.
If you would incorporate that in the name. It will sure help
the headache that me and my husband have.
Shari
Alabama
Alabama
Baby Name Genie:
Try Tylenol for the headache and Koda for the middle name.
WHY DON'T YOU EVER USE THE NAME RONNA??? It's the tightest name evah.
And I think that you don't have what it takes to be a Baby Name Genie.
Why don't you just go and hide in your "lamp", cuz that's one
thing you're good at! Love ya!
Ummmm...no
Location Withheld

Baby Name Genie:
Ronna is a fine name. You have my permission to use it.
On the lamp issue... have you ever tried living in one?
If you could get some decent furniture it wouldn't be
so bad; but, doll house chairs really aren't that comfortable.
Our baby boy is going to be born in 6 days.
I have come up with many names, but my husband does not
like ANY of them!! He has come up with one, but I'm not
crazy about it. Please help! We want the middle name to
be Michael. Any suggestions?

Yes. One. Avery.
My boyfriend and I are having a baby and we found out it is a boy.
I asked him about a name and he is set on naming our baby Jesus.
He said I could pick the middle name. I really don't like the name
Jesus and neither does my family nor his because they are all
religious. So, this is a big issue and I don't know what to do.
What do you think of that name?
Heather
MO
MO
Baby Name Genie:
In the U.S. you and your baby boy will certainly face many
interesting looks if you name him Jesus (unless you pronounce
it: Jesús). But in Latin America it would be no big deal.
Jesús is a rather common name there. Assuming you have
already sought to understand why your boyfriend is so attached
to the name and that you have also expressed your concerns about the
name, here are two ideas to get out of the pickle you are in:
1. Pick the middle name Peyton and call him J.P. (or just call him
by his middle name) 2. See if you can get some traction with the
name Joshua--it is closely related to the name Jesus.
I need a middle name for Chayton. He is going to be my new
little brother and I get to name him but I can't find a middle name
to match. Please find me a name that means something strong and has a
Native American twist to it. Thanks.
Tally
CA
CA
Baby Name Genie:
Since you have the honor of doing the naming I won't give you
anything conclusive. Here is an idea though: Nahuel. It means "jaguar"--
a solid, strong image. Beware though. It may inspire him to practice sneaking
up on you and startling the living daylights out of you for fun on a
regular basis. Then again, little brothers like to do things like that
regardless of name!
(Message 2 of 2) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! She loved the name and
it is our daughter's name. She is 7 lbs. 8oz. and 21 inches tall. She will
forever know the Genie saved her name. Thanks again.
Sammy

NY
Baby Name Genie:
Congratulations! I am sure she is as beautiful as her name.
Glad to be of assistance. Enjoy your new bundle!
I need a middle name for Tori. Something really catchy, but not too "cutsie".
My husband really likes the name, but I don't "LOVE" it. I am looking for
a middle name that will send it into that "LOVE" category.
Dana
TX
TX
Baby Name Genie:
I recommend these three catchy, but not cutsie, baby girl names:
Tori Beth, Tori Lynn, or Tori Raquel. You decide.
(Message 1 of 2) My daughter will be born in less then four days! My wife is really set on the name
Velveta--seriously. She said that if I could come up with a very girly cute name
she would drop Velveta Rose Alen. Any suggestions? She thinks double middle names
are cute. Help. Help. Help.
Sammy
NY
NY
Baby Name Genie:
I believe you will find the name Valerie Kathryn Rose Allen to be less "cheesy" and a perfect
fit for your coming baby girl.
(Message 2 of 2) Why don't you get a new job because you obviously don't like it very much.
People write to you because they think that you are going to send them some
real advice, but instead you are just a flat out jerk! I asked for some simple
advice to compromise with my husband on a name for our new daughter. Instead
you suggested that we have marital issues because of a lack of communication.
Talk about taking your job out of context. If that is what you think advice is,
then you must not be thinking very hard. Why don't you become a shrink, then
you can give people marital advice and it won't be uncalled for.
Sara
CA
CA
Baby Name Genie:
I am sorry. It looks like I misunderstood the question part of your previous message.
See if you can both agree to letting your baby girl decide the name for you.
If she comes in June, name her June. If she comes in July name her Julie. If
she come REALLY early then Mae -- no scheduled inducing allowed (unless of course you must,
but then don't go with my suggestion).
P.S. I can't help that I am a baby name genie. I just am one. There is not somebody to turn my resignation into. That would be like trying to resign from being a human.

(Message 1 of 2) Hi Genie,
I am going to have a little girl at the end of June and I really want her to
have a beautiful, girly name. Only problem is, my husband is very picky and
doesn't like any of the names I do. How do I get him to stop being soooooo
unbelievably ridiculous about naming our daughter?
Sara

Baby Name Genie:
You will not like what I have to say to your very "I" centered note.
So stop reading. No really--stop. Beware the crazy cycle!
We can't agree on a boy's name. I don't like Micah (that's what you picked).
If it's a girl, we're going with Skylar Faye Rowe. The middle name needs
to be Kinsland if it's a boy, because he wants to keep that name in the family.
We just can't agree on a first name. Any suggestions?

I've already given you a fabulous baby boy name that
you refused. Do you really want a second?
My wife and I unwittingly named both our first two
children after presidents (Jackson/Kennedy). We like the trend,
so now that my wife is pregnant again (Yah!) we like Grant for
a boy, but cannot figure out a middle name. Please help!

Grant Owen or Grant McKinley but not Grant Ryder.
I'll keep an eye out for the 2056 ticket to see
what you decided.
I need your HELP! I cannot find a middle name for Mia.
I have looked on every website and through tons of books.
I'll take any suggestions! Something feminine...not a big
fan of the bi-gender names. Thanks!
Melissa
MA
MA
Baby Name Genie:
Mia May flows and is fun to say--which is great until you
need to whip out her middle name to stop her cold in her tracks.
In the rare case that you would need to do that (since your baby
girl will be an absolute angel) I recommend Mia Danae.
My friend and I are both pregnant and we both love the name Ava.
We both had the name picked before we knew the other one liked it.
She wants to use it and I want to use it, what should I do?
Jess
Alabama
Alabama
Baby Name Genie:
If its a boy, don't use the name. If its a girl tell her you
are planning on using the name but that you will spell it
backwards.
I just had a baby and I don't know what to name her because
everybody is calling her different names. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
Rachel
MA
MA
Baby Name Genie:
Excuse me? She is your baby. Name her what YOU want. Tell
everyone to clear out so you can have time alone with
your daughter. Then take every little detail of her in and enjoy
the life you brought into the world. A name will come.
Once you pick it do NOT back down. Congratulations!
I am SO sick of the bi-gender name trend! You can't tell anymore
whether a child is a boy or a girl based on their name. I can't find a decent
name for a boy because the people who insist on using male names for girls
are making almost every male name seem feminine! I need a real strong male name!
I don't want people wondering the gender of my child when they hear his name.
Cara
TX
TX
Baby Name Genie:
Don't despair. A few boy names remain unblemished.
Last I checked I know no girls named
Peter, Kenneth, or Clint. For an extra strong
boy baby name, go with Sampson.
I like the name Cooper Ray but my husband likes Samuel Ray.
So, I thought of combining. Does Samuel Cooper work together
in your opinion?
Terri
Iowa
Iowa
Baby Name Genie:
Your effort to reach a compromise is admirable. Yes, Samuel
Cooper will do just fine. It works quite nicely as both a baby name
and an adult name. Good work.
I would like to name my new Baby Girl a name that starts
with the letter "B". This is my second child and my
other daughter's name starts with "B". Any suggestions?

Yes. One suggestion. Pick a name that starts with "R".
I am still in high school and for an assignment in one of my classes
I have to carry around a 10 lb. sack of flour and pretend that it is a baby.
I am really into this assignment so I want a good name for it.
I was thinking of Lukas William. What do you think?
Kelsea
Idaho
Idaho
Baby Name Genie:
Introducing your "baby" with a name to inquiring strangers
is much better than, "This is sack of flour that I am pretending
is a baby." Since, you do not have to worry about the psychological
ramifications of the name and have no husband to nix your first and middle
baby name ideas, name it whatever you want. Now is your chance.
Hi Genie. I'm going to have a baby boy in June and I'm still not too
sure about his name. My husband wants to name him Rufino Andres Rocha.
I am not too sure about the middle name. It is hard to find a hispanic
name that starts with the letter "a." I need help. What do you suggest?
Esther
Houston, TX
Houston, TX
Baby Name Genie:
There are worse names than Andres. But since you must have an alternate,
Antonio is an excellent middle name for the combination you are considering.
My inlaws hate the name my husband and I have chosen...help!

I stick with baby names.
Thank you for suggesting the middle name Carter to
go along with Morgan. It's perfect!
Julia

TX
Baby Name Genie:
You are most welcome. Glad you recognized it as a
winning first and middle name combination.
Best wishes to you and your growing family.
Our last name is Woods and I wished for a girl. You said Danielle Woods.
That is where it throws me off. The thing is, my name is Danielle, and I
want my baby to have her own name and not mine. Plus, every single name
you suggested, I don't like. I'm not a person who always complains, but
this time I am.
Danielle

You should have been honored to know your good name was worth
passing onto your child.
I am wanting to name my lil girl James, I'm not sure of a
middle name but many people have said there is no way James is a
girl's name. Do you think I am crazy for wanting a lil girl with
the name James? My husband's family has masculine names for the
girls such as Frankie, Billie, Cody.
Misty
MO
MO
Baby Name Genie:
I don't think you are crazy (as in mentally ill)... just different.
VERY different. If a boy can be named "Sue," then I suppose a girl
can be named "James." "Frankie" though? Yikes! It looks like you
married into the right family.
I love you, your my hero.
Ashley

Thanks, but I would recommend that you revisit your definition of hero.
I want to call the baby boy I'm having Mack--but
I don't want to use it as a first name!
I need a first name to go with my middle name!!
Please help! Thanks!
Kelly

NC
Baby Name Genie:
Alas, Mack is a hard middle name to introduce, but since you
insist--Andrew or Warren is fitting. Do keep the boy's diet
in check lest he becomes known as the Golden Arches
signature sandwich.

Kasie

Original, but it would be a "skam" to say it wasn't problematic.
I "shall be more" excited if you were to switch to Chelsy Kate.
What do you think of the initials GJB? I don't like them but my husband thinks I'm being too picky.
Alison
California
California
Baby Name Genie:
After some contemplation, I've decided to give neither you nor your
husband the foolish pleasure of saying to the other, "Ha! See, I was right."
Which sounds best to you:
Evan Scott Brown,
Asher Scott Brown,
Cillian Scott Brown,
Roman Scott Brown, or
Sebastian Scott Brown?
I cannot decide for the life of me!
Kelly
Charlotte, NC
Charlotte, NC
Baby Name Genie:
If you are willing to change your last name, then Roman is the clear choice. Your husband won't agree to this--therefore, go with Evan Scott Brown. Strong. Short. Flowing. Plus, you will rest better at night knowing he won't face a constant barrage of teasing about his numerals in math class.
My husband was on the fence about the name Sawyer, but after we got the "sign" that it was good from the Baby Name Genie he was convinced! Thanks for your help!
Deborah

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for the name. My due date is December 4th 2005 and I have been looking for names everywhere, and I found "the perfect name" thanks to you. My son's name will be Bradley James Harrelson.
Alexys

Indeed! Bradley is a fine name. I am glad you agree. I am sure your son will grow up to be an oustanding citizen. Keep practicing your breathing.
You freaked me out! The first name you suggested, Alexandra, is on the top of our list. How did you know?
Michelle
Peoria, IL
Peoria, IL
Baby Name Genie:
My apologies on the freaking. A clarification--Alexandra was not a name suggestion, it is the fulfillment of your wish for the perfect baby name.
That it was on the top of your list of names is either coincidence or evidence of your superior intelligence. You decide.
You're SO FUNNY!
